What happens when the holiday high fades and the reality of a new year set in? For many, the "Sunday after Christmas" feels like a sudden return to the fog of uncertainty and the mess of unfinished plans.
In the conclusion of our "Hope for the Holidays" series, we meet two people who spent their lives waiting on the Lord: Simeon and Anna. Through their encounter with the infant Jesus in the temple, we discover that biblical hope isn’t about getting a detailed map of our future—it’s about knowing who is holding our hand in the present.
In this third installment of our "Hope for the Holidays" series, we explore how God bypasses the palaces of the powerful to meet ordinary people in the middle of their mundane routines. Discover how the presence of Jesus has the power to turn your greatest fears into overwhelming joy and how being "unnoticed" by the world doesn't mean you are unseen by God.
We all have a "blueprint" for a perfect life—especially around the holidays. But what happens when the plan falls apart? In Part 2 of our series Hope for the Holidays, we look at Joseph, a man whose life was turned upside down by a scandalous interruption. If you are navigating broken plans, family chaos, or disappointed expectations this season, this message from Matthew 1:18–25 will remind you that God doesn't just clean up our messes—He enters them. Discover why a disrupted plan is often just the beginning of a divine renovation.
In Part 1 of our series "Hope for the Holidays," we open to Luke 1 and step into the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth. After 400 years of silence between the Old and New Testaments, and decades of personal silence in their own home, they discover that God is often doing His deepest work when we can't see what's happening.
Grace wasn’t meant to stop with you—it was designed to overflow. In this final message of our "Grace Poured Out" series, we look at how to let God’s mercy spill over onto the people around us this Thanksgiving. From guarding our words to extending forgiveness, make your life a "fragrant offering" to God.
Is grace just a "get out of jail free" card, or is it something more? In Week 3 of our "Grace Poured Out" series, we dive into Titus 2:11-14 to discover that the grace that saves us is also the grace that trains us. This sermon explores how grace isn't just a pardon for our past but an active, transformative power for our present.
How can God be both 100% just and 100% gracious? If he ignores our sin, how is he just? If he only punishes, how is he merciful? In this sermon, we explore the answer found in Romans 3:21-26. The cross is the "channel" where God's justice was satisfied and his grace was poured out on us. We unpack the powerful ideas of justification, redemption, and propitiation—and what they mean for you.
We often feel stuck in a cycle of trying to be "good enough" for God, only to fall short. In Part 1 of our new series, "Grace Poured Out," we explore God's powerful self-revelation in Exodus 34. We discover that grace isn't just what God does; it's who God is. Before grace was an act, it was his core identity: "merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love."
Based on the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant, this sermon explores Jesus's radical call for his followers to forgive generously, far beyond what is expected. It examines the difficult, often painful process of "cleaning the wound" and what biblical forgiveness truly means—and what it doesn't. Discover how our ability to forgive others flows directly from a proper appreciation of the immeasurable debt God has forgiven us.
In this powerful conclusion to our "Generational Faith" series, we explore how faith communities pass on hope from one generation to the next. Through Paul's letters to Timothy, we discover that God uses imperfect people to create sacred intersections where lives meet and faith multiplies across generations.
In this message, we explore one of the few times Jesus became genuinely angry: when his disciples tried to keep children away from him (Mark 10:13-16). What does this reveal about God's heart for the youngest among us. Children are not merely the "church of tomorrow" but Jesus says they're vital to the kingdom of God today.
Passing faith to the next generation doesn't require perfection or elaborate programs—it happens through authentic faith lived out in everyday moments. God's plan for spiritual formation unfolds naturally at kitchen tables, in car rides, and through ordinary conversations, while the church family provides crucial support for every household. This practical message from Deuteronomy 6 shows parents and church members alike how to transform regular routines into holy ground where the hope of our grandparents becomes the hope of our children.
Every generation stands at a crossroads: will they inherit the faith of their ancestors or drift into spiritual amnesia? In 'The Heirloom of Hope,' we explore Psalm 78's urgent call to pass on the same hope that sustained Abraham, carried David through dark caves, and kept Paul rejoicing in prison - the hope that still anchors us today. Discover why the next generation is counting on us, how God provides daily opportunities to share faith, and why passing on spiritual inheritance brings us so much joy.
In this powerful conclusion to our 14-week journey through Hebrews, we discover what it means to live as citizens of a city that will never fall. Whether you're exploring faith for the first time, struggling with lukewarm Christianity, or feeling weary in your spiritual journey, this message offers hope that's unshakeable. Discover what it means to pursue an authentic relationship with Jesus, and learn how seeking God's lasting city changes everything about how we live today.
When life gets dangerous and faith becomes costly, what changes about how we live? In this powerful message from Hebrews 13:1-6, we discover how genuine hope in Christ transforms our everyday choices—especially when we're under pressure.
In this sermon from Hebrews 12, we explore what it means to run the race of faith with endurance. Drawing on the example of the great cloud of witnesses and fixing our eyes on Jesus—the founder and perfecter of our faith—we discover how God shapes us through life’s challenges, sustains us with his strength, and invites us into his unshakable kingdom. Be encouraged to press on, trust his training, and run for the crown that lasts forever.
When you can't see God's plan, how do you keep moving forward? In this message, we explore Hebrews 11's definition and demonstration of faith that sustains hope in dark times. Discover how faith is more than wishful thinking, but holding the "title deed" to spiritual realities more solid than what you can see. Learn from heroes like Noah and Abraham who acted on God's promises decades before seeing results, and understand how faith reorients our identity as citizens of God's kingdom rather than this world.
Most importantly, see why we have every reason to persevere: we've received in Christ what the heroes of faith only hoped for. If they could endure with so much less, how much more should we cling to the better hope we have?
In this message from our "Christ Above All" series, we see how Jesus, as our great High Priest, ministers from the true heavenly sanctuary; not a copy or shadow like the earthly temple, but the real dwelling place of God. Through the new covenant, God gives us more than merely better rules to follow; he transforms our hearts from the inside out, writing his ways on our minds and hearts.
The old way said "get right, then come to God." Jesus says "come to me and I will make you right." Discover what it means to live in the reality that you are closer to God than ever before.
In a world of broken promises and shifting circumstances, where can we find hope that truly holds? This message explores God's unbreakable covenant with Abraham and what it means for us today. Discover why God's promises are backed by his unchangeable character, how his timing differs from ours (and why that's good news), and why our hope serves as an anchor reaching into God's very presence. When life's storms rage, you have an anchor that cannot fail.
